Age Calculator

Calculate your exact age in years, months, and days.

Methodology, assumptions, and limitations

Calendar age is calculated by subtracting complete years, then complete months, then remaining days. This calendar method handles varying month lengths rather than treating every month as a fixed number of days.

Assumptions
  • Dates use the Gregorian calendar.
  • The reference date must not precede the birth date.
  • Age changes at the start of the birthday in the selected calendar date.
Limitations
  • Legal age rules can depend on jurisdiction and time of birth.
  • Leap-day birthdays may be treated differently by law or custom.
  • Calendar months cannot be converted exactly into a fixed number of days.
